Practical Lessons from Research on Field Cognition and Behavior
نویسنده
چکیده
H ow does expertise influence thinking and working in geologic field environments? We studied this question during "Learning Across the Expert-Novice Continuum: Cognition in the Geosciences," a collaborative research project funded by NSF's REESE program. The project brought 67 geologists—from sophomore undergraduate majors through geologists with decades of field experience—to a field site in the Rocky Mountains (FIGURE 1). The data we collected provide useful insights into the role that knowledge, general intelligence, spatial visualization skills, prior experience, navigation, and even emotion play in mapping performance (Hambrick et al., in press).
